When to go to Bath?
Green water still fills the Roman bath, fed by a spring that has never stopped, and the pavements around it are Georgian from end to end. The Royal Crescent curves along its lawn in one unbroken sweep of honey limestone, with The Circus completing the geometry a street away. Pulteney Bridge carries shops across the Avon above a curved weir, the abbey and its fan vaults a few minutes upstream.
